Rating: - PLEASE PUT ON DVD!!!
This is a wonderful movie, and I'm surprised that it hasn't been put on DVD seeing as it has three great stars - Loretta Young, William Holden, and Robert Mitchum. A good story of unfolding love and devotion in pioneer times. PLEASE PUT THIS ON DVD!
Rating: - Fun Frontier Roamnce: Lovely Young, and Holden versus Mitchum
Fun Western Film based on the early 1800s with Willaim Holden (Bridge on the River Kwai) as a frontier farmer who loses his dear wife with a son to raise. He marries the natural beauty Loretta Young (The Bishop's Wife) as a marraige of conveniance as she will be his housekeeper and teacher for his son.

Rating: - Mitchum and Holden
I knew this movie had possibilities when I saw that both Robert Mitchum and William Holden were starring in it. It is a relatively short movie and doesn't take too long to draw you in. We see an opening scene of a widower in grief at his remote cabin in the wilderness. He has a young adolescent and senses the practical need of another wife to share in the amplified duties of the time and place.

A non-romantic marriage is carried out for proprieties sake ... Read More
Rating: - Where has this gem been hiding?
I just watched this movie for the first time. The cast is incredible. Too bad it has not been released on DVD. I would
love to know more background about the film.
Rating: - Rachel the Slave
Rachel and the Stranger is like Sarah Plain and Tall, the children's story. It concerns a man (William Holden) and his son (Gary Gray) after his wife Susan dies. He realizes that it is proper for his son to be raised by a woman and sets out to get a new wife (Loretta Young). He frees Rachel from servitude by marrying her, but she is basically treated as a maid in her new home. Her husband's traveling friend (Robert Mitchum) serves to integrate her into the family, but in the process begins a territorial fued between the two men for Rachel's affections.
